I got my second wind after a nice long nap. The rear is good I think...

The rears look ok, but I do think the front is a little low. Maybe try taking an equal amount off the front like you did in the rear? What was that 1 1/2 turns of spring?

Wow -- that looks great! On my 300td, I cut off one front coil and used the thinnest pads to get rid of the "4WD truck look" and it's still a bit high for my taste, but at least there's a bit of a rake.

It looks good the way it sits and especially the wheels. what are they? CLK 16in?
I can see a rubbing issue and a bottoming out issue.

I have a bottoming out issue if I have people in the back seat sometimes. usually it is when Iam crossing a dip or going into a parking lot off the street. usually it is the pan the spare sits in. might be the springs.

Well that was a lot cheaper than the Vogtlands, but the Vogtlands reeeeally improved the body roll, and greatly reduced the way it used to squat down at the back when I accelerated hard. I would do the Vogtlands again if I had to start all over. However until there is enough demand for another group buy what you have done looks really nice. I am curious how it affects handling bodyroll etc. but am no where near curious enough to cut my old coils and switch back and forth with the Vogtlands just to compare!

X2. I'm currently looking for wheels and not finding much to choose from. There are only 2 choices at the Tire Rack link.

I just won a set of front springs on eBay, thanks everyone.

The wheels are 16" CLKs, they looked a bit funky on the unmodified suspension but now I think it fits the style perfectly. I still need to remove the hub grease cap and either cut and reweld it or maybe just take a sledge to it to make the dome shorter. Overall the ride good, I can tell that I'm just a bit past the efficient damping range of the shock. We'll see how long these last, might have to upgrade to HDs at some point. Hopefully the extra inch of travel after I swap out springs will help... I have to say the response on the road has been great, got a few thumbs up and long stares on my way home today. I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but I'm diggin it.
